A lot has happened since Canada legalized cannabis on Oct. 17 and with shortages being reported as early as Day One of legalization, one of the biggest sticking issues for Canadians across the country was getting their legal cannabis in the first place!

Asian countries are aggressively warning their citizens not to smoke recreational cannabis on their trips to Canada as that might land them a ticket to jail when they land back home.

About a week ago South Korea prompted their citizens not to consume cannabis abroad as they might be put in jail upon their return. Now two more Asian countries are threatening their citizens in the same manner.

Now, I’d argue, it’s time to rewrite the rules of engagement surrounding cannabis use.With legal weed comes infinitely more knowledge, and with that knowledge comes tremendous responsibility—and it’s a responsibility we all share, a mutual respect we owe to one another as we enjoy infused meals together and Pepsi-challenge each other’s vaporizers.

Before these regulated marketplaces gave us a retail infrastructure, multiple levels of consumer protection, and more substantive information about the cannabis we’re consuming, we rarely knew exactly what we were ingesting. While a select few grew their own, tracking all the nutrients and pesticides used in the cultivation process, most of us “got it from a guy”—a scenario I relived recently while strolling Pusher Street, Christiania’s world-famous hash market in the middle of Copenhagen, Denmark.
